[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

This is the first snow of the year, and the north wind blows snowflakes one after another, leaving a window of unstained white.The finely carved censer is surrounded by mist, and the thin smoke from the brazier creates a corner of warm color in the ice and snow.

On a snowy day, there must be an old friend.

"Sir, please sit down, and I will pour tea for you."

"No need," Sima Hui shook his head.He stood by the door without even taking off his snow-covered fur coat, "Hui has something to ask you, and then leave after asking."

Xun Yu's eyes flickered slightly, he no longer insisted, and only said:

"Sir, please speak."

"When you were in the academy, you once said to Hui that you would like to devote your life to helping the Han family and bless the common people. Hui also always believed that with your talent as Wang Zuo, the hope of the Han family must come from you." Looking deeply into Xun Yu's eyes with old and cloudy eyes, he let out a question, or sighed,

"But why did you choose Cao Mengde?"

Xun Yu's expression did not change, he poured hot tea into the cup steadily and offered it to Sima Hui.In fact, before Sima Hui opened his mouth, he had already guessed the content: "Mr., I must have seen that the princes of the world have 30 soldiers, but they are all shrunk behind the pass, each with their own ghosts. General Cao is alone, and he is more than a thousand handsome." The soldiers chased Dong Zhuo to the west and almost lost their lives. If Yu does not serve General Cao, who should he choose?"

Sima Hui didn't take the tea: "Cao Cao's grandfather was an eunuch, and his father relied on money to get the position of the three princes. The son is like his father, and Cao Cao was still loyal when he was not prosperous. Heart, when you become famous in the future, if you have greed in your heart, it will cause endless harm to the Han family and the common people. Wen Ruo, you will not understand this truth."

"If, as the master said, Yu takes the eunuch's daughter as his wife, he is also a nobleman of Afu, and he is in the same party as the thieves. If you think about it this way, Yu and General Cao are not different, and they are a good match." Even if you don't agree. Sima Hui's words, Xun Yu's voice was as gentle as ever, and at the end of the words, there was even a light smile.

But Sima Hui couldn't laugh.He saw that under Xun Yu's gentle appearance, his heart was far more tenacious than Cang Song's.

Because of this, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Wen Ruo, one day, you will regret it."

Xun Yu just slightly raised the corners of his lips.He already has the answer in his heart, so there is no need to argue, but it will not change.

After a while, he suddenly said:

"Sir, do you know that General Cao once called Yu's wife?"

Before Sima Hui frowned, Xun Yu's eyes sparkled, as if he remembered something interesting,

"Yu, like Mr., both feel that this statement is inappropriate. But the reasons may be different.

Marquis Liu assisted Gaozu, what he wanted was to revive Korea and revitalize his country.However, after the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty had been eliminated, for the stability of the Han family, he once again remonstrated with Gaozu not to restore the princes of the six kingdoms, and personally wiped out the last hope of restoring the country.

Gao Zu and Liu Hou's monarchs and ministers knew each other well, but they had different interests, even though they could come on the same road, it was difficult to return on the same road.In the end, one person stands at the peak of power, and the other goes far away to the mountains and rivers, looking for the world to be at ease.

However, General Cao is not Gaozu, and Yu is not Liuhou.The world that General Cao wanted was never the slightest difference from the world that Yu wanted. "

The warm sun shines through the snow, and the light and shadow blend together, casting a warm and firm light in his eyes:

"So Yu believes that since he and General Cao have come on the same road, when the dust settles, they will return on the same road."

"Yu, nine deaths without regrets."

————————————————————

The windows are closed tightly, like a thick wall, futilely covering the little warmth left in the house, but more of the sunlight has been crushed, leaving only dull confusion.When he slowly opened his eyes, he could vaguely see faint traces of smoke, which was the residual warmth before the fragrance was about to dissipate.It flutters and hazes indistinctly, and dissipates together with the misty illusions.

He sat up, but his thoughts seemed to be still in that big dream.

Recently, he has been recalling old things in his dreams.Those who have passed away cannot be chased. He never wants to let himself indulge in the past. That is the Taoyuan Township that only weak people will be attached to.But today, he has to admit that even if he is himself, he will also be greedy for the three-point delusion when he was not awake from the dream.

A dream is a dream.No matter how intoxicated a big dream is, it is only 99 Que.

"Husband, but you got up?"

It was Tang's voice.

He responded with a deep voice.The moment the leg fell to the ground, the pain followed like a shadow, but it also helped to dispel the confusion when I first woke up.He went around the screen and walked out, Tang just opened the door and came in, hurriedly stepped forward to help him.He waved his hands, dragged his sore legs, and slowly walked to the desk and sat down.

Tang quickly put on his outer robe for him, but he still couldn't beat the cold air that squeezed into the room when he opened the door, causing several tired coughs.

"Mr. Guo is here." Tang said softly, with the help of her drooping hair, she just blocked the worry in her eyes, "Do you want to see my husband?"

Ben's hand that was reaching for the scroll paused before it landed on the bamboo scroll.

Seeing this, Tang's expression darkened, bit his lips lightly and said: "I can tell Mr. Guo that my husband is not feeling well today, please come back another day."

"No need." Xun Yu shook his head, took the scroll and unfolded it, "Please come in."

Tang's eyebrows frowned even tighter.In the past, when she heard Xun Yu's calm tone, even though there were many difficulties and dangers ahead, she was never worried, "But..."

"If you can avoid today, you can't avoid tomorrow." With a knife, he cut off the last few words on the slip, and after deliberating for a moment, he wrote again, "Everything has a beginning and an end. Please come in Fengxiao. Let the servants change it." Bring new charcoal, warm tea and sweet cakes."

Charcoal fire, warm tea, sweet cakes... What Xun Yu said were all things Guo Jia needed when he came to the Xun Mansion in the past.But hearing Xun Yu's gentle tone again today, her heart seemed to be smashed to pieces.anger?fear?Injustice?There is nothing, but what is left is an indescribable sadness that permeates and melts in the flying snow all over the sky.

She bowed slightly and backed out.

The servant came to the house one step ahead of Guo Jia and added new charcoal.The light of the fire danced in the pot, the bone-eating cold gradually faded away, and the curling smoke drifted faintly, creating a drowsy corner of warm "color".

But suddenly the new wind howled, and the cold suddenly picked up.The door was pushed open by someone, followed by a series of closed windows.Bitter cold wind broke in through the window, and snow flakes fluttered and fluttered in the room, but at the same time, the sunlight that was blocked from the window was able to shine in smoothly, instantly dispelling the drowsiness in the room.

Seeing this, the servant who had just put down the pastry and had time to leave said anxiously: "Mr. Guo, Master's body cannot be blown by the wind, and this window cannot be opened!"

"Really?" Guo Jia stopped the servant who was about to close the window, and turned to look at Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, shouldn't this window be opened?"

Standing between Xiguang and Feixue, the eyes are as black as dots of lacquer shining with a breathtaking luster, bright and clear.Behind him, the sky was covered with heavy snow, the blue sky was like washing, and the sky and the earth were clear.

For many days, Xun Yu seldom smiled sincerely and closed his eyes: "Let's just open it."

"Can--"

"After being bored for so long, it's time for Yu to get some air." He looked at the snowy sky with nostalgia, and repeated, "Let's just drive it."

The servant had no choice but to obey orders and retreat.

The wind and snow melted the ground, and Guo Jia walked up to Xun Yu and sat down. He put the food box in his hand aside. Xun Yu only glanced at it, but didn't take a closer look.He brought up the freshly boiled tea and poured a cup for each other.Guo Jia took a bite of the sweet cake wrapped in sweet-scented osmanthus honey, and when the mist cleared, he picked up the cup and blew up ripples, the slightly bitter tea neutralized the sweet pastry, leaving just the right aftertaste between his lips and teeth .

Cooking tea and enjoying the snow, the years are quiet and beautiful, exactly the same as in the old days.

"There are two things to do here. One is to give something to Wen Ruo. The other is to tell a story for Wen Ruo." But there must always be someone who breaks this illusion first, "Wen Ruo Which one do you want to choose first?"

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, the eyes were shining brightly.He said: "Following filial piety is good." Gently like the boy at the Lantern Festival in Yingchuan, Ren Guojia pulled his sleeves, dyed in the moonlight, held a lantern, and walked among the fireworks world.

"Then Jia, give Wen Ruo the things first." So saying, Guo Jia didn't take out anything.He just said, "Wen Ruo still remembers the jade pendant and wooden box Jia gave you?"

The jade pendant was given to Xun Yu at the Xudu Palace banquet after the victory at Guandu; the wooden box was given to him under the porch of the house in Yecheng before the expedition to Wuhuan.Before leaving Yecheng, when Xun Yu checked the old things, he found them deep in the secret compartment, and remembered what Guo Jia had said when he handed them over to him, so he took them with him.At this time, they are being placed under the case together.

When Xun Yu put the jade pendant and the wooden box on the case, he vaguely remembered that no matter in Xudu or Yecheng, they seemed to be like Yingyin today, with snow floating all over the sky, covering up the traces of the years, coming Forgotten things are human beings.

Then, he heard Guo Jia's voice:

"Wen Ruo ever wondered, where did Kong Gui get the confidence to provoke the relationship between Jia and the lord just by his appearance and a few words? He would think that he could succeed because he didn't know the most important thing. Lie. Except for the octopus, Jia really has left behind."

When he was in Jingzhou, Xu was negligent for a while, and Xu did it on purpose, which made Yang Xiu aware of some clues.Yang Xiushun searched and found that besides the octopus, there is another force secretly controlling the situation. Its buried depth and long-term layout are far more terrifying than the octopus.The only possibility is that almost at the same time when Cao Cao handed the octopus to Guo Jia, Guo Jia cultivated his own power outside the octopus.At that time, Yang Xiushang regarded Kong Gui as a party, so he told Kong Gui about it.Because of this, Kong Gui firmly believed that as long as he lured Guo Jia to use that part of his power, and then let Cao Cao meet with his own eyes, he would be able to achieve his goal.No matter what kind of monarch and ministers know each other and share weal and woe, it is impossible for Cao Cao to tolerate betrayal-betrayal from the very beginning.

"What's the reason?" Xun Yu asked.He does not think that Guo Jia cultivated other forces with ulterior motives or to leave a way out for himself.As for himself, Guo Jia never knew what was the way out.

"Octopus will be disbanded sooner or later. History books will not record it, and those who remember him will eventually die. Everything, as if it never existed." His voice was faint, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing, " Punishment is used in troubled times. Now that the world will be safe, it is time for those things that cannot be seen to be seen." But I don't know if he is talking about weeds or something else, "But during the transition, some people need to deal with it." The final business was cleaned up, so there are these people."

But Xun Yu was not moved by this set of rhetoric: "You handed the jade pendant to Yu, it was six years. At that time, the world was still far away from stability. What you said may be the reason now, but it will not be the original reason. of."

"I knew I couldn't hide it from Wen Ruo." Guo Jia suddenly smiled, "The original reason...was because of you, Wen Ruo."

While Xun Yu was in a daze, Guo Jia had already continued:

"Wen Ruoke still remembers that if it wasn't for you, Jia wouldn't have worked for the lord. From the first day he came to Cao Ying, Jia was worried that if one day there was an irreparable rift between you and the lord, Jia would not What should I do if I'm gone? So, Jia left these people behind. This jade pendant is a token to mobilize them." He pushed the jade pendant to Xun Yu's eyes, "As long as you want, these people can do it for you. You do anything."

Xun Yu stroked the fine patterns on the jade pendant, and asked, "Anything?"

"Yes, anything." Guo Jia nodded, "Jia said, no matter what time and situation, Jia will always stand by Wen Ruo's side."

The plain jade pendant suddenly burned hot.Xun Yu believed that Guo Jia would not fail to understand what he was referring to when he said "anything".

But Guo Jia didn't seem to realize at all what kind of turbulent waves he would cause if his words were implemented one by one.He turned to pick up the wooden box again, fumbled for a while and opened the wooden box. Inside was a bound scroll.Guo Jia put it on the case, and when Xun Yu thought he was going to hand the scroll to himself, he pressed his hand on the knot first.

He looked up at Xun Yu:

"Before opening it, is Wen Ruo willing to listen to Jia tell a story?"

Xun Yu's eyes showed some complicated emotions, and he nodded slightly to show his approval.

So, Guo Jiaqi began to tell the story.His voice is not heavy, and those past events that have been settled in the long years have become light, as if they can be drifted away with the wind and snow:

"Many years ago, there was a young man who was neither like Wen Ruo, who was born in a famous family, nor was he like Jia Yi, who was carefree and careless about world affairs. He spent his days flying chickens and dogs, doing chivalry, and today he went to rob the rich and help the poor, punish the evil and promote the good. Tomorrow, I will go to other people's weddings with my friends and friends to peek at the bride. Everyone doesn't care about him, some because he is dissolute and free, and some think that his father regards the eunuch as his father. His father also thought that he was just a dude, and it was rare to be able to keep his honor and salary for a lifetime, and he could not become a great weapon.

But the young man refused to fulfill the wishes of these people.He thought, even if he couldn't be a famous scholar because of his humble family background, it would be more than enough for him to be a local sheriff, to study politics and education diligently, and to provide for the environment and the people.He waited until he was 20 years old, promoted Xiaolian, and became an official in the capital, but was transferred out of the capital because he was too hardworking, and when he arrived in a new place, he was scolded as a party with eunuchs because he took over a powerful land.After several ups and downs, bearing the burden of humiliation, he was finally able to hand over the memorial to the emperor. It was clearly stated that when the Sangong memorialized corrupt officials, only officials with no power and no power would be punished for their crimes.The words he wrote were sincere and heartfelt, and the emperor was greatly impressed by the words he read, and he submitted the memorial to the Sangong Mansion the next day.Sure enough, this unruly person will be added to the next time the Sangong plays the officials.Relying on his father to take generous gifts and apologize to each family, the matter was finally settled, and the family was not involved.

It is impossible to become an official, and studying books is also a good way.At that time, some people won praise from all over the world by learning the classics.He avoids the world, refuses guests, and wishes to hide underground to stay away from secular disputes.But he looked through the scriptures, and he didn't know what use this knowledge that can be said to be eloquent for a single word is useful in this world, and he didn't know the scholarly scholars who were full of saintly words and the one who drove him out of officialdom. **Why are the evil courtiers actually the same group of people.The more I read, the more I felt that Zhong Ni was difficult to use, and Meng Ke was playing games, so I couldn't read this book anymore.

It just so happened that the old emperor died at this time, and the new emperor was young, and his relatives and eunuchs were fighting for power. Instead, the foreign warlord took advantage of him and established a new emperor he liked.Loyal ministers and righteous men all over the world were outraged, and shouted to kill the "traitors".He thought, this time he was looking for thieves for the country, and there were more than [-] soldiers and horses from all sides, and the elimination of the thieves would be decided in one battle.When it comes to rewards for meritorious deeds, he should be able to be named a general who conquers the west. From now on, he will drink horses and keep the country in peace.

But when he led his troops to Guanxia, ​​he realized that he was wrong again.Except for him, an eunuch and ugly eunuch, none of the world-renowned celebrities and talents present really cared about the life and death of the emperor.He led thousands of people to chase the traitors, and almost lost their lives, but the more than one hundred thousand troops in the camp were drunk and unconscious.When he yelled in anger that 'all kings are thieves', his old friend who had sworn to him not long ago that 'this time we will save the Holy One and help the community' blamed him for being too whimsical.

He used to never understand why he killed eunuchs and powerful eunuchs for the people but was said to be killing innocent people indiscriminately; A villain, a villain is a gentleman.But at this moment, he suddenly understood everything.The so-called loyalty, benevolence, and integrity of a famous family are nothing more than a fig leaf. When it is useful, it is worn on the body to pretend to be dignified, and when it is useless, it is thrown aside to show the face of fighting for power and profit.He was not discouraged when he was ridiculed as an eunuch, he was not discouraged when he was dismissed from office and almost hurt his family, even when he was almost killed by rebel soldiers a few days after he tried his best to recruit four thousand soldiers.But at this moment, his heart was completely cold. "

Having said this, Guo Jia stopped suddenly.He raised his hand and poured another cup of tea for himself, and the rising mist made Xun Yu unable to see clearly the sadness and joy in those eyes:

"After the eunuch, he was ignorant of current affairs and wanted to change the world with his own power. In the end, he reaped his own fruit and achieved nothing. It's so logical. Wen Ruo, do you know that this story should have ended here.

But he met someone.

He had thought that most of the people who could win the praise of the world were bullies, but this one alone not only lived up to his reputation, but was even more surprising than the rumors.He wondered countless times, how could such a glorious person leave the Yuan family brothers who were famous and unrivaled in military strength, and choose him, a man with no soldiers and no power, to be the lord.But this person told him that although soldiers and fame are important, they are absolutely invaluable. Over time, they can be obtained gradually. The only sincerity for the common people of the country is hard to change.The person who owns the latter is the one he really wants to help. Even if everyone in the world thinks that he made a wrong bet, he is willing to make a mistake to the end and never regret it.

Seeing this person, he suddenly understood one thing.People in the world are often bound by all kinds of benevolence and morality. The villain has a better name, and the gentleman has a better name. Therefore, there are hypocrisy people who seek self-interest in the name of benevolence and righteousness everywhere, but there are no hypocrisy people who do not care about their own names for the common people. Only then did the villain run rampant.A gentleman is inelastic, which is why this chaos does not stop.And since he has been scolded as an eunuch, why not come to be this hypocritical and evil person, doing all kinds of good, and more importantly, doing all kinds of evil, only considering the utility of the common people, not the interests of small people.

Therefore, he raised his long sword and fought in the wild.He allowed tens of thousands of people to live and work in peace and contentment, and he also murdered prisoners of war to flow into rivers of blood. He allowed the emperor who fled everywhere to live in a magnificent palace again, and he once went to the palace with a sword to kill nobles and punish uncles.People all over the world pointed at his spine and called him a national traitor, but he never wavered, because he knew that person would understand that everything was the price that had to be paid before dawn.Only by doing so, can he hand over a peaceful world to a true gentleman in his lifetime, and only then can he see the revival of the country and the prosperity of the country and the people.

But he was wrong.The years are too terrible, and the sea can be shattered, let alone the hearts of the people.

Today, everything has changed. "

He sighed softly, colder than snow.

The food box on the side was forgotten for a long time, so that when Guo Jia picked it up, his hands were still covered with snow that had not completely melted.He put the food box on the table between him and Xun Yu like the Chu River and Han border:

"Before the end of the story, Wen Ruo might as well open it first. My lord said, Wen Ruo must still remember it."

His eyes fell on the poorly made food box, which could even be regarded as crude, and Xun Yu's jade-like face showed a little nostalgia for the long-term memories.That was three years ago.At that time, Cao Cao was neither the prime minister nor the order of the minister, but a down-and-out general and counselor who had not even captured Yanzhou and was short of soldiers and food.Almost every granary in the city and countryside of Yanzhou has been ransacked by the Yellow Turban soldiers. There are only less than three days' worth of military rations left in the army. Even Cao Cao and Xun Yu's daily food is barely visible. rice porridge.That night, Xun Yu discovered that Cao Cao was making this food box alone by the bonfire that was about to go out.

"My lord, what are you doing?" Xun Yu asked curiously.They can't even eat food now, how could Cao Cao still have the leisure to make this kind of thing here.

Cao Cao showed a hint of embarrassment, obviously he didn't expect to be discovered by Xun Yu after hiding in this secluded place.He was silent for a while, and said: "There are many inconveniences in the army, and Wen Ruo has suffered."

Xun Yu was taken aback.There are indeed too many inconvenient things in the army, especially in the army that is wandering around like they are now.Take food as an example, not to mention that there is not enough food, not even enough bowls, let alone other things.The porridge returned to Xun Yu's hands was often completely cold, and there were often a few weeds blown in by the wind.For ordinary soldiers, this kind of life has long been used to, but for Xun Yu, a child of a family who has been pampered since childhood, it is really wronged.

Could it be this food box...

Cao Cao didn't speak, just acquiesced, and Xun Yu couldn't help laughing, the louder he was, the louder he was, the less reserved and elegant a child of a family should be.I saw him flicking his clothes and sitting next to Cao Cao, not caring about the dirt on the grass:

"Yu is fighting with the lord, and not enjoying himself. This is not bitter." The moonlight shone on his face, which was slightly pale from the hunger for days, but the fire was shining in his eyes, "However, the lord can do this." It's a pity that you put so much effort into porridge." He smiled slightly, "Surely, my lord has already thought of a countermeasure?"

"Wen Ruoguo knows loneliness." Cao Cao laughed.He stretched his finger forward, and the moonlight outlined the faint outline, which was the city that they had not captured after fighting for five days. color, attack the city again."

"Rather than lingering on, it is better to fight with one's back. At that time, there was no food in the army, no food in the wild, only the city had food. I believe the soldiers will fight the enemy bravely. My lord, this plan is brilliant." Xun Yu did not hesitate to treat Cao Cao The praise of Cao Cao, put him to death and then survive, and the art of war, there are not many people in the world who can match Cao Cao's attainments.

After deciding on a plan to attack the city, he looked at the food box that had just taken shape, and rarely joked, "When the city is broken, my lord can no longer use this food box to deliver porridge to Yu, but at least the rice grains must be visible." ah."

"How can Gu use porridge to get rid of Xun Wenruo, who has been battered by the princes of the world." Cao Cao also laughed, "One day, you and I will succeed in our great cause. An official salary of two thousand shi is worthy of your national scholar Wushuang."

Xun Yu couldn't help laughing and frowned again.The two thousand shi's fortune and the praise of the national scholars are insignificant to him. What makes him happy is that he is so lucky in this life to meet someone like Cao Cao and save the common people and the country with him.Even if the fate was not in favor in the end and they failed to make it to the last step, he was confident that he would never regret it.

In his ink-like eyes, the light is brighter than the stars in the sky:

"It's a word."

When Xun Yu touched the lid of the food box with his fingers, he could still touch some patterns that had not been completely worn away by the years.He still remembered that the city was breached on the second day. Cao Cao himself had polished off the wooden thorns, carved patterns, painted the food box, and put a large bowl of white porridge that could not be poured. on his case.Later, the Son of Heaven was welcomed to Xudu, and he became a dignified minister, not to mention the official salary of two thousand stones, marquis, fiefdom, jade, Cao Cao's first thing in the table every time Just asking for credit for Xun Yu, no matter how Xun Yu declined, Cao Cao refused.As for the food box, sometimes when Cao Cao ate something delicious, he would take out some food boxes and send them to Xun Yu immediately.But later, when Cao Cao often fought abroad, and Xun Yu was entangled in government affairs day by day, the food box gradually became useless and was collected in the Sikong Mansion.

A food box, when people no longer use it to hold things, is just a pile of useless wood, which can be put on the shelf, which is very rare.

What about that person?

When Xun Yu opened the lid of the food box and saw that it was empty, his face was still like still water, without the slightest ripple.

He was not surprised.

"Wen Ruo, don't forget, this food box has two layers."

Xun Yu thought, Guo Jia would not understand the meaning of Cao Cao deliberately asking him to send an empty food box thousands of miles away.But he was so tired that he didn't want to think about why Guo Jia's tone was so brisk.He slowly picked up the cover of the second layer.

Sure enough, it was still empty.

"layer."

When his fingers touched the cover of the last layer, Xun Yu's calm face finally showed a wave.For some reason, the words he and Mr. Shui Jing said that year suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Yu believes that since I have come on the same road as General Cao, when the dust settles, I will return on the same road."

He, nine deaths without regrets.

A jug of wine and a box of pastries were quietly placed there. Perhaps because of the bumpy road, some crumbs of the pastries spilled out and fell on the bottom of the food box.

Xun Yu was astonished: "This..."

"The wine is the 'medicinal' wine prepared according to Hua Tuo's prescription, and the pastry is Jia Jia's. When he came to Yingyin today, he saw a hawker selling it and thought it tasted good, so he bought it." Guo Jia smiled brighter and brighter, " It is true that this food box was originally empty. But what does that matter? It was an irreversible deadlock, and it was easily solved." He picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Xun Yu's mouth, "Wen What if you try it?"

Xun Yu didn't move, he just looked deeply at Guo Jia, trying to find an answer from there.

Guo Jia's smile stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to its original state.He broke the pastry in his hand into two halves, took half of it and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully for a while and swallowed it.Only then did he pick up the other half and hand it to Xun Yu: "Is this all right?"

"Feng Xiao," Xun Yu's gaze became more complicated, "Why are you sad?"

"What nonsense is Wen Ruo talking about?" Guo Jia's lips still curled up perfectly, "What's so sad about Jia?"

"You can hide it from many people, but you can't hide it from Yu. You have been like this since you were a child. The sadder you are, the brighter your smile will be. In this way, others will think that you don't care about anything, and they will never find your weakness. You can tell people with your eyes, but from your eyes, you can only see sadness. Feng Xiao," he didn't take the pastry, but instead held Guo Jia's hand that was colder than snow, "Why are you sad?"

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew his hand.He blinked vigorously, insisting on maintaining

Holding that crumbling smile: "Jia hasn't told Wen Ruo the ending of the story yet.

Many years later, the young man who only wanted to be admired by the world has reached the pinnacle of power.Only then did he realize that at this point, the handle of power can no longer be handed over based on his own wishes.If he surrendered his military power, the world that had just been stabilized would fall apart in an instant, and his family members and close friends would all be decapitated.But if he doesn't hand over his military power, then his hypocrisy and evil will become true evil. He is no different from those princes who scolded at the pass back then, and he is a veritable national thief.

He didn't know how to choose.So he asked Jia to come here and give the choice to the man who had come with him. "

"Fengxiao, my lord..."

"The lord did not move any of the officials promoted by the empress in the court of Xudu, including Fukang who was in charge of the imperial army. Although the Ma family and his son have already proclaimed their ministers to the court, Ma Chao is obviously more ambitious than his father. Help. As for the Mandate of Heaven, the lord specially held a banquet at the Tongque Terrace on that day, just to let the officials in Yecheng see with their own eyes that the Son of Heaven was kind enough to avoid the disaster of the solar eclipse. Of course, if Wen Ruo felt it was necessary Let the truth of the queen's assassination come to light, and Jia also left enough evidence. But the most important thing is this scroll—"

He handed the scroll to Xun Yu, motioning for Xun Yu to open it:

"Here are all the secret passages left behind during the construction of Xu Capital City. With this map, the people Jia left for Wen Ruo are enough to travel unimpeded in Xu Capital City."

"What are you going to do?!"

When the scroll reached the end, a silver light flashed, and the dagger fell from the scroll to the ground.

Shuofeng blew Guo Jia's temple hair, he smiled coldly, his eyes were covered with frost.

"See you with a poor dagger."

Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin.
